(Need help quick) Can retinal holes be caused by lyme-disease?

Hello again.
A few weeks ago i posted on this forum because i have a condition called visual snow and i asked if i should get tested for lyme-disease. But now my situation is a whole lot worse. A week ago went to an ophtalmalogist because i was experiencing something i believe is called "scintillating scotoma". Unfortunately when he examined my eyes he found round retinal holes (he called them tufts) in both eyes. I went to many ophtalmologists before (the last visit was about 1 year ago) no one has ever seen any holes in my retina. The principal consultant (a very experienced doctor) who examined my eyes said these holes did not devlop in this one year where i hadn't seen any ophtalmologists, he said they have been there longer and have become visible now because i got older. He said its a "genetic thing" and he also said it's very unlikey a retinal detachment will come from this and it does not require laser surgery. But i'm very afraid these holes are caused by lyme-disease.

Can lyme-disease cause retinal holes?

Would the doctor have seen it, if these retinal holes are caused by other things (such as lyme-disease)?

If lyme disease CAN cause retinal holes do they get bigger or do more holes develop over time?


I'm so aifraid lyme-disease caused these holes and that they progress or "multiply".
Thank you for your time ans answeres.

PeteZa: A retinologist is a retina specialist right?
Yes, thank you for your advise i will try to find one.

Thanks four your answer.

Bartonella bartonella bartonella.

Look up detached retina (or retinal problems ) and bartonella.

Very common. I have to get my retina checks all the time being on bartonella medication.

Most of my vision problems have gone away with treatment but eye problems with bartonella are VERY COMMON.

I agree, Bartonella. You should see a Retina Specialist for sure.

Bartonella has damaged my right eye resulting in scar tissue which must be monitored for life. This will not resolve with any treatment.

Bartonella should be diagnosed by a LLMD.

Village Crazy Lady:
How do you know Bartonella is the cause for the scar tissue in your right eye?

Village Crazy Lady and Jackie Moon:
Are you both cured now? If so, how long did it take and what treatment did you do?

Thank you.

I know for a fact lyme can cause central serous retinopathy. It's what I had. It's basically a bubble in your retina with fluid. It usually goes away on its own, but mine took years and left a scar. It causes me to see a bump in anything with a line - mini blinds, text, etc. The scar is still there and I'm hoping it goes away soon. I also have visual disturbances that seem to increase when I'm herxing or on my period.

When I was really bad with severe neuro I had black curtain come down in field of vision. They say this can be hole in retina, but it all went away and never happened again, thankfully.

Lyme and co can cause so many symptoms.
